ประวัติโดยย่อ

          มหาวิทยาลัย UIBE มีชื่อย่อภาษาจีนว่า "จิงเม่า" เป็นสถาบันการศึกษาด้านการค้าระหว่างประเทศแห่งแรกของจีน และจัดเป็นมหาวิทยาลัยทางด้านธุรกิจอันดับหนึ่งในปักกิ่ง โดยมีประวัติย้อนหลังไปในปี พ.ศ. 2494 เมื่อมีการก่อตั้งสถาบันการศึกษาด้านการค้าที่ตงซีจิวเทียว ย่านไชน่าทาวน์ กรุงปักกิ่ง โดยอยู่ภายใต้การกำกับดูแลของกระทรวงการค้า และสถาบันการศึกษาดังกล่าวนี้ได้ย้ายไปอยู่ที่เชียนมาชาง ย่านกูเหลา ต้าเจียเก่าในปี พ.ศ. 2495 ต่อมาได้มีการปรับโครงสร้างของสถาบันการศึกษาให้สูงขึ้นในปี พ.ศ. 2496 โดยคณะการค้าระหว่างประเทศประกอบด้วยสมาชิก 10 ท่านจากสถาบันกลางด้านการเงินและเศรษฐศาสตร์และสมาชิก 7 คณะจากสถาบันเศรษฐศาสตร์และการเงินเซี่ยงไฮ้ถูกย้ายไปที่สถาบันการศึกษาดังกล่าว ในปีเดียวกันนี้มีการเปลี่ยนชื่อสถาบันการศึกษาดังกล่าวไปเป็น สถาบันการศึกษาด้านการค้ากับต่างประเทศของปักกิ่ง
ในปี พ.ศ. 2497 มีการไปรวมกับแผนกการศึกษาและการค้าระหว่างประเทศของมหาวิทยาลัยเหยินเหมิน เพื่อตั้งเป็น สถาบันการค้าระหว่างประเทศของปักกิ่ง (BIFT)

ในปี พ.ศ. 2503 มีการย้ายสถานที่ตั้งของ BIFT ไปที่เชอตาวโกวแถบชานเมืองด้านตะวันตกของกรุงปักกิ่ง เป็นเวลา 4 ปี หลังจากที่มีการปฏิวัติวัฒนธรรมในปี พ.ศ. 2513 BIFT ก็ถูกปิด และได้เปิดอีกครั้งในปี พ.ศ. 2516 ซึ่งมีสตูดิโอภาพยนตร์ปักกิ่งตั้งอยู่ก่อนแล้วภายในบริเวณสถาบัน ในปี พ.ศ. 2527 BIFT ได้รับการยกระดับให้เป็นมหาวิทยาลัยโดยใช้ชื่อว่า มหาวิทยาลัยเศรษฐศาสตร์และการค้าระหว่างประเทศ โดยมีการปรับโครงสร้างครั้งล่าสุดในปี พ.ศ. 2543 โดยสถาบันการเงินและการธนาคารของจีนได้กลายเป็นส่วนหนึ่งของ UIBE

นับตั้งแต่ที่มีการก่อตั้ง UIBE เป็นต้นมา UIBE จะอยู่ภายใต้การควบคุมของกระทรวงความร่วมมือทางด้านเศรษฐกิจ และการค้าระหว่างประเทศ ซึ่งความสัมพันธ์ที่มีมานานนี้ทำให้ธรรมเนียมปฏิบัติที่สืบทอดกันมาของ UIBE มีเป็นรูปแบบพิเศษเฉพาะตัว ตลอดระยะเวลา 52 ปีของประวัติความเป็นมานี้ UIBE มีความตั้งใจอย่างต่อเนื่องในการผลักดันให้จีนได้มีส่วนร่วมในเศรษฐกิจโลก และใช้ทรัพยากรที่เป็นเอกลักษณ์นี้ให้นักศึกษาได้รับข้อได้เปรียบ ซึ่งมหาวิทยาลัยน้อยแห่งจะมีให้ได้

Pre-requisites: None

This is a two-credit elective course designed for graduate students majoring in international management. Unlike other business courses that concentrate narrowly on a particular function or piece of the business - accounting, finance, marketing, production, human resources, or information systems, international business management is a comprehensive course which cuts across the whole spectrum of business and management. The centre of attention is the globalization of an enterprise - the industry and international environment in which it operates, the social and cross-cultural differences among countries, the characteristics of globalization trend, the motivation for and the modes of entry into foreign markets, the value chain positioning and strategic modifications such as integration and outsourcing along the globalized industries, and the strategies of international operations, etc.

The international business management process helps enterprise managers identify what they intend to achieve and how they will accomplish their internationalization objectives. The magnitude of this challenge is greater today than historically, as the globalization continuously pressures firms to become more competitive internationally. Students of this course, therefore, are expected to familiarize themselves with the global competitive environment and to learn how to deal with such unpredictable environmental changes. In the process of this course, students should understand various issues involved in international business such as imports and exports, licensing, franchising, and foreign direct investment, to name just a few, and master the methods and skills in formulating and executing strategies for international operations in the global context.
